Latest update, as seen the whole thing has been assembled and I was in the process of setting up.
After much mucking around, I decided that the bridge was too far forward (as in too close to the neck), I was trying to get the G string somewhere near an A on the 2nd fret (therefore having in tune E, A, and D chords)
I had the saddle screwed all the way back and I was still about 20 cents off.
Whats he gunna do I hear you ask!
OK,, simplest remedy, drill out the screwholes, bung in some 6mm dowel, a quick coat of timbermate and a sand.
Attachment 6650
I filled the screw holes for the bash plate so I can move that back and have an even gap between it and the bridge and the base of the neck.
After some consideration I think Ill move it back by about 4mm.
My original mistake was to locate the bridge to have no gap between it and the bashplate.
BTW doc, that link is for a download, its a tiny little program (500ish K) I just leave it on the desktop.Quote:

With any luck hopefully the bridge plate hides the dowels anyway
Thanks Wok, depending on how far I move the bridge the plate does hide the dowels, or at very worst only a mm is exposed, but I doubt anyone (else)would ever notice.Quote:
